Original caption

Indonesian authorities have released footage showing how a Malaysian Airlines pilot, who was arrested at Jakarta's Soekarno Hatta International Airport on Jul 29, was caught allegedly attempting to smuggle 26kg of ecstasy and a small amount of methamphetamine. Officials say customs officers flagged him for additional screening despite his access to the flight crew's fast-track lane, uncovering more than 70,000 ecstasy pills concealed in his luggage. Investigators also say they found a bottle of urine, which they suspect was intended to help falsify the results of a drug test. #indonesia #indonesianews
